Artists from China and CEEC countries discussed arts education, arts exhibitions and globalization's impact on traditional arts.

Yu Ding, a representative from the Central Academy of Fine Arts noted a platform for information sharing between China and CEEC countries should be established. And the cooperation should cover all levels, which include national exchange and nongovernmental collaboration. Private galleries and exhibitions should be encouraged to engage in cooperation. In addition, the relations between art institutions and curators should be strengthened.

According to Yu, large scale exhibitions are impossible for the 2017 Cultural Season, because such exhibitions often require three to four years of preparation.

"We all think the cooperation should start from easier things," Yu said.
